We consider a diffusive Nicholson's blowflies equation with non-local delay and study the stability of the uniform steady states and the possible Hopf bifurcation. By using the upper- and lower solutions method, the global stability of constant steady states is obtained. We also discuss the local stability via analysis of the characteristic equation. Moreover, for a special kernel, the occurrence of Hopf bifurcation near the steady state solution and the stability of bifurcated periodic solutions are given via the centre manifold theory. Based on laboratory data and our theoretical results, we address the influence of various types of vaccinations in controlling the outbreak of blowflies.

In this paper we study the diffusive Nicholson's blowflies equation. Generalizing previous works, we model the generation delay by using an integral convolution over all past times and results are obtained for general delay kernels as far as possible. The linearized stability of the non-zero uniform steady state is studied in detail, mainly by using the principle of the argument. Global stability both of this state and of the zero state are studied by using energy methods and by employing a comparison principle for delay equations. Finally, we consider what bifurcations are possible from the non-zero uniform state in the case when it is unstable.
